Safety and Justice Challenge

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge (SJC) is a national initiative focused on reducing over-incarceration and addressing racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system. The initiative aims to support innovative solutions that improve public safety, promote racial equity, and reduce the number of people in jails and prisons. The SJC provides financial and technical support to jurisdictions across the United States that are committed to making lasting changes to their criminal justice systems, including developing and implementing strategies to reduce unnecessary pretrial detention, improve case processing, and reduce the number of people cycling through jails.
